The VIPER is created from a hybrid of the old and new Battlestar Galactica series. The model is 1692 tris and contains two high res 1024x1024 textures which can be scaled down to 512x512. The model was created quickly in a day with some minor tweaks after that.

I used an extruding method but in the future will probably rely more on nurbs and converting to polygons since it gives more consistent topology. The detailed rear part of the ship was created as a high resolution model, exported as a capture and then manipulated in Photoshop for the texture. No bump mapping, specular, or normal mapping is present.
